Just that really. Never worn it. Tried ironing on one dot as instructed: took and hour. Still as bloody creased. I'm sure they've just reappeared.

Tried hanging in steamy bathroom for 20 mins. No.

Argh!!!

Don't have a steamer. Would a dry cleaners do it?

What has anyone else done. I love it. It's cigar storks and looks amazing on me with a belt. But I look like I've slept in it!!!

For things I can't use a hot iron on - I try the misting from a plant sprayer first and also sometimes just use the iron like a steamer. I have a "steam boost" button on it which I presume you're supposed to use during ironing but sometimes I hold the iron above or next to an item on a hanger and press it loads. Bit fiddly but it usually does the job

Yes fair enough. I know what you mean, I got caught in the rain once and where it dried badly it was a bit like a wrung out dishcloth. Dry cleaner should be able to give it a good steam press.

Polyester is just more easily damaged by heat, that's why I used it as an example. I've done the same with viscose too and it's never been harmed, just less creased.

Viscose irons really well with steam and a high heat. I'd iron it inside out to avoid shine. I've got loads of viscose clothes and never had an issue.

I have the navy storks. The one with a pull under the bust like an empire line. I think they are all the same fabric.

i just ironed on a cool iron. More than once as it gets crushed in my overly full wardrobe. I KNOW!! I need to declutter.

i also have several (too many - is this a confessional?!) kimono jackets which are a finer, more fragile fabric. I’ve ironed those on a #1 too and all okay.

Ah, ok. Thank you
